Hi list I have Michaek Heffernan to Australia 1850 on "The Lord Stanley" His parents were Thomas Heffernan and Margaret Hennessy. Michael's wife was Margart nee Hennessy her parents were John Hennessy and Alice nee Ryan. Looks like they were Kissing cousins Their fist born was Thomas, Born in America about 1832. They went looking for Gold I am told by the banks of Sacramento. Well then they returned to Ireland to have 4 children before migrating to Australia. I believe they were in close contact to Dwyer's or O' Dwyers also relations. Laraine in Oz
